Gabourey Sidibe: ‘Who Hasn’t Dated A Gay Dude?!?’

Gabourey Sidibe stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday, where — on the heels of NBA player Jason Collins’ coming out announcement (the athlete was previously in an 8-year relationship with former fiancee Carolyn Moos) – she revealed she too has dated a gay man.

“Who hasn’t dated a gay dude?!?” the former “Precious” star told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover with a laugh, before recounting her own experience. “He didn’t tell me [he was gay], I just sort of figured it out… [we dated] sort of recently.”

The actress – who was recently cast in Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story: Coven” — is turning 30 in five days, but said her only birthday party will be one given by the crew on a production she’s currently working on.

“I never throw myself parties,” she said. “I get too nervous about it – like, I plan it and then I get too nervous about and I go, ‘No, I don’t deserve it!’ and I stop, like a weirdo.”

She will, however, be embarking on an international adventure in celebration of hitting the big 3 – 0.
